yep always see that but i have came to realize if you DONT like me then I am OK with it. I dont care.............i know that seems bad but LIFE is to short to worry about WHO MY FRIENDS ARE. I know my TRUE friends and I have MY FAMILY.......even though they are in GA but still know.........most of my FRIENDS are in GA and I still have 2 REALLY GOOD FRIENDS IN NASHVILLE.....

I haven't turned on the heat. Longest I've gone in awhile. Will have to do so when my dad comes this weekend.

The town I live in can be cliquey. I hate it. I have slowly started to exclude those women. One in particular drives me insane and we used to be super close!!

I hate it as well Jen. But you know what.. I turn it off. I am so happy to be where I am, as accomplished as I am (you too!) I disregard it. Please be very proud of yourself and know we are all behind you and supportive of you.

Dh turned the heat on today. he thought 61 degrees in the house was tooooo cold. It was 33 degrees outside at 8AM when we went to church.

Speaking of friends. I don't have any except my on line ladies. DH's problems forced them to leave. I should have pushed but I knew that DH was struggling. So do I save my marriage or have friends. I chose to keep Dh around. I just wish he would have gotten help 37 yrs ago. he is a different person most of the time now!

I need to get my craft area cleaned up. I made 16 Halloween cards today! Good night, sleep tight.... hugs to all of you!

Since Bob is 10 years older than me, we really don't have "Couple" friends, which I miss a lot. Even if he was younger, he is very opinionated, and that's not good, especially when he brings up politics, (and I want to kill him)!
I have a few friends, but my best friend moved away, and I only have a couple that I do things with. None of them know each other.

We had to get rid of the kids~~~~~~The cats were allergic!!!

From a dear friend:What I have been pondering this morning...why do adult women feel the need to continue living a life of "cliques" and why do I care/let it bother me??? My conclusions...I can't do anything about the beginning part of my pondering, but I will do something about the second part of my pondering and not care/let it bother me

I absolutely do not feel this with all of our friendships. Isn't it sad this goes on??

I saw her post too. I always feel like I don't belong in any group/clique. I'm the ultimate misfit

Hi ladies - back from NY. My dad said he enjoyed his small 90th birthday celebration. I'm so glad. I know I am very, very blessed to have my parents. My mom is really struggling with her skin issues. It is a hardening which both itches and hurts. she is in a lot of pain and discomfort. this could take years to heal. There is no real cure it just gets treated and will heal on its own. It is also very rare. My poor mom.

Ladies - you are ALL dear friends. We may be misfits individually but here we are a wonderful group of friends. All of us. Jennifer - you started this group. We appreciate that in itself and I thank you so much for it. I'm so glad we are here.

I'm really missing my family today and tonight. I am TRULY ALONE ! ! !
I'm REALLY feeling like a misfit today, and I don't know how much longer I can do this. Lexy and Tristyn went to Homecoming, and I just saw pictures online. I SO wanted to go to their house to see them, but Shanna said no. I don't know why she is trying to hurt me, but she is winning!
I'm going to take my pain meds and go to bed!!!

Good Morning, its Monday and I feel like I want a weekend do-over. Saturday was nice, We were in Twin Falls most of the day and night. Took pictures of Savannah ( I want some in every season of her senior year) and then had my BIL surprise 50th Birthday Party.

Sunday, was non-productive except for a couple of loads of laundry. I guess I have tonight to work on other laundry and cleaning. Yeah

Cliques, mostly I could care less, but the cliques at Church and Work are the ones I find most offensive and hardest to ignore.

Hope you all have a great week! I love my Misfit friends and am glad to have found you all.

I greatly dislike cliques, too. And Heather, I agree about the ones at churches. A friend of mine is in a small group at church. I like many of the ladies, but there are two there that make me feel unwanted. I used to try to go out of my way to be nice to them, but I have decided it is not worth my time. There are too many people I DO like at church. Why try to make those two like me when I have others who do care. It still hurts.

Linda - I am so very sorry about your daughter. I don't know and can't understand why she would be that way towards you.

Jen, I will be thinking of you on Wednesday. Your dinner sounds yummy, I know what I want to eat for dinner, but it will be a few hours before I am done with work.

Jennifer, what do you get with the start up kit for Lia Sophia?

Paul started his class today for a certification he needs to get for networking. Its a 3 day class with a one on one instructor and then so many hours of at home work before taking the test. Thank you State of Idaho for paying for this. Seriously I feel like we are finally getting a break, as we typically qualify for 0 help.

Ok, the decision is made. I am taking this place off the market. I can not do the prep for the showings. I worked 3 hours Thurs night after work, was in extreme pain Friday and Sat, had to literally lay on my back most of the weekend. I am told to expect pain for 6 months.

I just can not do it. I thought I could. I hate the stairs but can't do this alone. In spring when I am feeling better I can relist. Just done.

I think I am coming down with a cold too Jen. Sorry you are under the weather and have a sad thing to deal with.
Do you use ground turkey? Do you make it all white? Or with tomato/red?

Jen~~ Sounds like you need to go to bed early!!! How is your Sweetie doing? You don't want to pass the bad germs around, you know,...LOL
Your resistance is probably down because you've been under so much stress.
Please take care of yourself,...lots of people (including us) need you!!!

We had to get rid of the kids~~~~~~The cats were allergic!!!

I went to a Lia Sophia jewelry party this morning and ended up signing up to be a consultant - only so I could take advantage of the starter kit

Working on birthday party stuff. I decided I want to try to make a construction cone pinata, never made one before. We shall see...

Jennifer~~ Lia Sophia jewelry is beautiful. I don't have any, but my sister had a catalog, and I looked at it. I am allergic to nickel, so I can't wear it. It looks very nice!!! It might be a good way for you to meet new friends.

I do use ground turkey and this one was red (crushed tomatoes and black beans). I also make a white chili but use ground or shredded chicken instead. My kids aren't big fans but ate the meat and each counted out the minimum of 10 beans to eat. Lol.

Jim's doing well. Well see if he gets sick. I kissed him enough this weekend that I'd be surprised if he doesn't get sick. Lol Especially because he eats terribly.

prayers for my good friend here in Maryville . tomorrow she goes and have a spinal tap done and if the pressure in her head is above 40 they are going to put a shunt in her brain . i am so sad for her she has been through so much.

Some of you may know Sara this is what she has done as well she has had so many of them...and they just are not working for Sara. I feel so bad for her.

But my friend this will be her 1st one ever done. they put her on some Medicine to see if that helped but today she started getting blurred vision again . her mom had to come get her at work (she drives) a VAN at work...so she def needed to leave. but hopefully things will work out. just praying it does.

hope you all have a great night, just had an episode with my stomach got sick . i will get the meds tomorrow. just dont understand......

Nikki, I am sorry for what your friend is going through, and will pray for her.

I was just going to ask for prayers for my friend, Kelli. I can't remember if I told you about her of not. She had her mammogram, and they found 2 very hard lumps about 2 weeks ago. She is in the waiting game still. She went today for her biopsy, and they couldn't get to it good enough. Kelli is SKINNY ! ! ! She had the Stomach Bi-pass (or whatever it's called) quite a few years ago. I think she is bulimic since then. Anyway, now she has to go Thursday to have wires inserted into her breasts to mark the spots, so that the doctor knows where the lumps are. I guess they are very close to her rib bones.

Nikki - how sad for your friend. I am Facebook friends with Sara so I know her bad days. Since I have dealt with headaches (and just had a bad one last week) I can only imagine how they can function. I can't.

Sorry you got sick tonight! I hope they figure out what is going on with you. HUGS friend.

I thought they marked them regularly anymore. I know when I had my biopsy (which was almost 16 years ago) they marked it with a wire. It is so frustrating to have to wait for the results and now she has to go back for another biopsy. Poor thing! I hated the waiting more than anything else. Once I knew I wasn't happy, but at least I knew what was coming next.

No, they couldn't do the biopsies today. I didn't talk to her. She just left me an email. She said that they couldn't reach it. MAYBE SHE was confused!!!
